Ok...looking good, although as pointed out in earler posts the text should be adjusted.

It looks like AI just posted a page they made ages ago without really reading it...i.e. Exec is written in 68K ASM...they should not have even bothered putting that in.  It is unnecessary and could (in this case has) cause FUD.  

Not what we need right now.

The logo on the orther hand is fantastic.

Yep.  That's how I understood it too.  So I doubt they will be using PPC ASM at all...well hand coded ASM that is...also have you seen PPC ASM?  

It is a bit of a nightmare to say the least, it is far better to let a compiler figure out what needs to be done and optimise your code for you...unless you like bleeding from your ears!  :-)

Really getting excited now as you can finally see what AI/Hyperion have been doing for the last few months/years!!
